Abstract

Stabell, K.E. (1988). The mind-brain problem evaluated in the light of recent neuroscientific research. Nordisk Psykologi, 40, 81–92. The dualist-interactionist theory of Eccles and its empirical foundations are presented. This theory is then discussed with reference to modern monistic theories. It is concluded that monistic, non-reductionist theories that conceive of mental processes as emergent holistic properties of highly complex bio-systems presently appear to offer the most parsimonious view compatible with today's scientific knowledge.
